The picture shows Emilie, doesn't it?
The books seems interesting, have you read it?

oops wrong pic. New try.
No, but I'm going to. I think this is one of the cases when the book is better than the film.

Raquel Welch played a transgendered character in Myra Breckinridge (1970):
She starts out as Myron, played by obnoxious movie critic and part time bad actor Rex Reed:

The surgeon does such a good job Myra now looks like a movie sex symbol, or more like a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader from the 70s:

Based on a book by Gore Vidal, Myra Breckpenridge is considered one of the worst movies of all time, it also co-starred Farrah Fawcett and Mae West.

I remember showing a picture of Ben Barnes in Prince Caspian to a (male) friend who said that "he looks like a girl". While I don't agree with that it give me an excuse to put a picture of him in this thread

While searching for the image above I found this one, so there might be something in it...

...the other half belongs to Nina Dobrev btw

I found this and I just wanted to post it on here because I think it's interesting.
Let the Right One In. Sweden. Directed by Tomas Alfredson. Starring
Kåre Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson. An intelligent, unsaccharine
vampire romance about two 12-year-olds, one of which has been "12
for a very long time." Both of the lead characters are androgynous,
each in their own way. A very good film. Adapted from the novel
Let Me In, by John Ajvide Lindqvist, which elaborates on the basis
of the vampire's androgyny. Twilight this is not.
